WORKER SURVIVES STEEL BAR THROUGH THE MOUTH

Posted by Lady Vesuvius on October 9, 2009

Construction worker Yang Jinmin bit off more than he could chew while he chatted to pals on a building site.

Yang Jinmin, looking surprisingly calm, is helped by medics after getting the steel bar lodged in his mouth

Yang Jinmin, looking surprisingly calm, is helped by medics after getting the steel bar lodged in his mouth

Yang, 38, was so busy talking as he jumped into the building’s foundations he didn’t see this 5-foot-long steel bar sticking out.

The inch-wide support girder went straight through his open mouth and into the base of his skull.

Next time you feel down in the mouth about work – think about this!!

FAT CAT TOLD TO LOSE HALF HIS BODYWEIGHT

Posted by Lady Vesuvius on September 25, 2009

Socrates the cat has been put on a strict diet after ballooning to double the size of a normal moggy.

What the fuck you call me bitch?

"What the fuck you call me bitch?"

So you think he doesnt look that fat huh? Well cop a load of this…

I bet youd look fat in this position ho!

"So what? You need botox and your teeth bleachin' ho!"

The black and white feline weighs in at 10.1kg but has been given 100 days to get down to his target weight of 4.5kg.

Owner Bill Duncan from Newcastle says the long-haired cat is going to have to cut down on his favourite cheese and onion crisps (WTF!).

From now on the supersized pet will be limited to two 50g helpings of special diet food a day which Mr Duncan hopes will give him more get-up-and-go.

Five-year-old “Socs” joins eight other finalists in charity PDSA’s Pet Fit Club where owners help their animals shift the podge to improve their life ‘pet-spectancy.’

Socrates’ competitors include Tara the roly-poly labrador who tips the scales at a whopping 41.6kg and Smoky the porky puss who weighs 86% more than a regular moggy.

A recent survey of owners by PDSA found the most common treats given to pets include leftovers, cheese, fatty meats, chips and biscuits.

They also found that many four-legged friends are not taken for a daily walk.

MIRACLE CAT SURVIVES FIRE AND BULLDOZERS

Posted by Lady Vesuvius on September 22, 2009

A pet cat which was presumed dead in a building fire a month ago has been found alive buried beneath 16ft of rubble.

The lucky moggy, aptly named Smoka, survived despite the remains of the premises being torn down by bulldozers.

The cat was discovered as the debris from the flower shop and upstairs flat was being cleared away.

A crew found Smoka’s head sticking out from under the rubble – 26 days after the Ohio fire.

Her owner Sandy LaPierre, who lives in the flat, said she assumed one-year-old Smoka had died in the blaze on August 10.

The fire broke out in Franklin, about 30 miles north of Cincinnati.

Ms LaPierre said her pet had lost a lot of weight and has since been eating a lot of food to make up for it.

She said: “I was stunned, shocked. She is a miracle after staying there almost a month in the rubble.”

She said Smoka was finding it difficult to walk but otherwise she seemed OK.

Dennie Fitzgerald, the building’s owner, told NBC: “With those bulldozers, those big bulldozers rolling over the top of that thing day after day, it should not have made it.”

OH DEER!

Posted by Lady Vesuvius on September 20, 2009

A stag was suddenly stopped in its tracks after becoming entangled in an electric fence.

The fallow deer tried every manoeuvre to escape, but the more he jumped and twisted, the tape wound tighter around his head.

Thankfully the RSPCA came to the rescue and freed the deer by holding down the animal before cutting the tape.

Once the fencing was removed the stag recovered on the ground for a few minutes and then raced off into the distant Suffolk countryside.

The RSPCA is appealing to landowners to make sure they maintain or remove old fencing, saying these incidents happen frequently and often lead to serious injuries.

GRAN REGAINS SIGHT WITH TOOTH IMPLANT

Posted by Lady Vesuvius on September 20, 2009

A formerly blind grandmother has regained her sight after surgeons implanted a tooth in her eye.

Sharron Thornton reveals her new tooth-implant eye

Sharron Thornton reveals her new tooth-implant eye

American granny Sharron Thornton, 60, was blind for nine years after contracting Stevens-Johnsons syndrome, a rare disease that scarred her cornea.

But doctors in Miami, Florida, made history after extracting her canine and drilling an optical cylinder lens into it.

Ms Thornton is the first person ever to have her “eye tooth” taken out, reshaped and inserted in this type of surgery.

She said: “We take sight for granted, not realising that it can be lost at any moment. This truly is a miracle.

“If you could keep your eyes closed just for one week, it is amazing what you would see when you opened your eyes again.”

The tooth and the lens were implanted under her skin for two months so they could bond.

They were then implanted in the centre of her eye, after a series of procedures to prepare the socket.

The grandmother first realised she could see when doctors put antibiotics in her eye and she could tell the liquid was yellow.

Once bandages were removed, she was able to recognise objects and faces within a few hours.

Two weeks later she was able to read newspapers.

“Through the work of the team, patients in the United States now have access to this complex surgical technique,” said Bascom Palmer Eye Institute’s Eduardo Alfonso.

Ms Thornton said it was hard to make people believe she had regained her sight thanks to one of her teeth.

“I’m looking forward to seeing my seven youngest grandchildren for the first time,” she said.

BELIEVE IN ANGELS? THE WHITE HOUSE DO AND THEY DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT IT.

Posted by Lady Vesuvius on September 18, 2009

The following information was found via Derek Clontz‘s blog. Naturally, I can’t verify that the information is 100% correct but if it is, it is very interesting. Please read on…

America’s National Transportation Safety Board issued a secret and unprecedented alert after a passenger jet bound to Los A ngeles from Chicago averted what the NTSB called “shimmering winged entities” at 40,000 feet.

Nobody at the agency’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. is speaking for the record to avoid what one White House official called “a Christian revival that President Obama and other secularists in this administration do not want to see.”

But NTSB sources confirm the harrowing encounter did, in fact, occur – and say airlines and pilots have been warned to “take the phenomenon seriously” as similar incidents are expected to occur “with increasing frequency”  on the run-up to the year 2012 – when many believe the world will end.

“Federal agencies by their very nature bend over backward to avoid embroiling themselves in religious issues of any kind, but in this case they have no choice,” said one NTSB insider.

“I happen to be a Christian myself and I have no qualms about it. But you better believe there are people who do not want information like this getting out to the public. ”

Reports concerning the actual encounter are sketchy and details are virtually nonexistent. But sources agree the jet narrowly averted a flock of approximately 50 angels at an altitude of 40,000 feet approximately 35 minutes into the flight.

According to those sources, the pilot of the jet said the entities “appeared out of nowhere and hovered in the clouds for 25 to 30 seconds, long enough to get a clear and unmistakable view.”

He went on to say–both in radio transmissions and a written report–that the entities “looked like an illustration from an old Bible. They were angels. I have no doubt.”

After making “rather abrupt” evasive maneuvers that reportedly resulted in two passengers sustaining minor cuts and bruises, the pilot managed to avoid what he termed “a direct hit.”

In his written report, however, he openly wondered if the plane and passengers were ever really in danger because, as he stated:

“There was nothing sinister about them. They appeared to have no more substance than vapor. I am not convinced, not now anyway, that a collision was imminent. It seems as though we could have flown right through them without problems.”

The sources went on to say a co-pilot “was profoundly moved by the experience” and has since taken a leave of absence “to contemplate precisely what happened – and why it happened.”

The airline itself was not identified by sources and the NTSB reportedly has made it clear in internal memos that keeping the name under wraps is a priority of the first order.

In fact, the NTSB and other federal agencies, including the FBI, have interviewed and debriefed all 263 passengers aboard the flight not once, but twice – each time stressing “national security” in what one source called “an intense, even frenzied” bid to keep them from talking to the press.

“I seriously doubt anybody, even the FBI, can keep all those people quiet,” said the Washington source. “Time will tell just how long their ‘national security’ arguments will work.”

Meanwhile, the NTSB has alerted all foreign and domestic airlines to exercise “due restraint in discussing similar incidents if and when they occur.”

The agency further warned “that any sighting or encounter, natural or supernatural, with potential to imperil passengers or compromise confidence in our ability to navigate (the skies) must be avoided at any cost.”

While the NTSB and airlines attempt to cope with a situation that obviously is beyond bureaucratic reckoning, members of the clergy are calling for full disclosure of the incident.

“I understand security concerns,” said the Rev. Marcus Weiler, “but we’re not talking about flying saucers or enemy aircraft … we’re talking about ambassadors from Heaven and messengers from God.

“I would propose to you that angels – even flocks of them – are not a national security risk. I also would propose to you that the government of the United States and its employees have an obligation to apprise the public of these events. Not only true believers, but every citizen, has a right to know.

“I shudder to think where this country is heading if our leaders feel they must cover up signs and messages from the Lord.”

BRITISH MAGICIAN AND MENTALIST DERREN BROWN INVESTIGATED BY OFCOM

Posted by Lady Vesuvius on September 18, 2009

Britain’s leading magician and mentalist, Derren Brown, is currently being investigated by Ofcom because of a homophobic comment he made on his TV show.

The Telegraph have revealed that Ofcom received 27 complaints from offended viewers of his TV show in which he explained how he correctly predicted the lottery numbers just a few days before and made a quip about the bonus ball being for “women and gays”, he also repeated this comment on his official Twitter.

Here are the actual Tweets he made:

“Ok, gays and women. Do you or do you not pay particular attention the bonus ball? I know I do.”

“And I am including gay women in that of course. Twice as much reason to pay attention.”

“May be offending straight men and bisexuals. Apologies, do be sure to complain. X”

… and complain they did, all 27 of them!

Brown, 38, who actually came out as gay in The Independent a few years ago, has been accused of being homophobic (lol) and sexist because of the above comments. It has also been rumoured that Brown has just signed a new £2 million contract with Channel 4 after being head hunted by ITV. We wonder if Channel 4 are regretting this decision after a disastrous week for the mind bender.

Wed 9th Sept – Derren correctly predicts all 6 numbers of the national lottery. The world wide web goes crazy trying to work out how he did it. Public opinion – split screen.

Thurs 10th SeptA plausible video surfaces showing how Derren probably predicted the numbers. The video makes it to the tabloids, the video makers, to radio.

Fri 11th Sept – Brown explains on TV how he actually predicted the numbers yet doesn’t really tell us anything at all and makes a “women and gays” joke that only Bernard Manning would be proud of. Public opinion – still split screen but now Brown is a knob for thinking the public are stupid and that only women and gays like the bonus ball. Plausible video looking more plausible. 27 offended people contact Ofcom.

Mon 14th Sept – Damage control begins as The Sun reveals that Brown predicted the numbers BEFORE Christmas but the footage of him doing so were cut from Friday’s show due to time. No such footage has (yet) been seen or released. Public still angry, now with possible cover up.

Wed 16th Sept – Derren makes the “women and gays” comment again on his Twitter.

Thurs 17th Sept – It is revealed Brown is being investigated by Ofcom for his remark. His Twitter is more quiet than usual. No comment from Brown or his publicist Greg Day yet.

I wonder if Derren is of the opinion that any publicity is good publicity, hmmm…

CONSPIRACY THEORY #2: THE MOON LANDING – REAL OR FAKE?

Posted by Lady Vesuvius on August 25, 2009

This very interesting website was brought to my attention a while ago and I would like to share it with you all.

Like most of the population, I believed the Apollo moon landing was real… that was until I read the contents of this site.

The Apollo Hoax is a very well written, factual site which backs up it’s own arguement with proof and facts. I urge anyone to read ALL of this site’s contents, not just skim through it as you aren’t getting the full picture and all of the facts. I challenge anyone who was a believer before they entered the site to still be a believer when they have finished reading.

Posted by Lady Vesuvius on July 27, 2009

45% of the population suffer from food intolerance and you could be one of them. Do you suffer from Asthma? Insomnia? Migraines? Depression or weight control problems? If so, it may be down to a food allergy!

Using Food Detective™ couldn’t be easier with informative step by step instructions to guide you through the simple process.

The testing tray that shows you if you have a food intolerance has areas spotted with food protein extracts. A small blood sample is taken from a finger-prick and is then diluted and added to the tray.

In subsequent steps the use of detector and developer solutions identify the presence of food antibodies through the appearance of one or more blue spots on the tray. Reference to the food layout plan enclosed within the instructions allows you to identify any foods to which you may have an intolerance.

You can buy the home testing kit directly from here: Food Detective for a reasonable fee of £50 (+£3 P&P within UK but they do ship worldwide). You get the results in 40 minutes and if any intolerances are found, it could be the answer to any health problems you are experiencing.

CONSPIRACY THEORY #1: MICHAEL JACKSON – DEAD OR ALIVE?

Posted by Lady Vesuvius on July 26, 2009

If like me you like conspiracy theories, then you will love this site I’ve stumbled across.

The site in question is dedicated to Michael Jackson’s death being fake and it contains theories, speculation, opinions and fact. Definitely worth a read. Some theories are a bit far out but there will be some content that does make you go “hmmm”. This site does back up it’s own argument a lot which adds to the fact that this site isn’t ran by MJ fans who just don’t want to believe it.

Go there now and have a read for yourself… michaeljacksonhoaxdeath.com
